I second the PICS!! We want to see Pip.I'm so happy for you to hear that he is sounding better and better every day. Kudos to you for sticking with it and doing what needed to be done. Sounds like he's well on his way.
As for the glass tank comment above, yes, tubs and PVC enclosures are generally easier to maintain temps, humidity, etc... but that doesn't mean glass tanks can't provide a happy home for snakes. Do they take more work and monitoring, yes, probably so. I used to think glass tanks were just the devil in disguise, but there are plenty of people here, and on other forums that prove that isn't the case. I have seen some AMAZING glass tank setups out there that are probably a much better habbitat for a snake than a tub.
You're learning, and as long as you keep doing things the right way, You'll be just fine.Keep up the good work!
